@Ruthlessworld2 A random spare key that goes to a house you haven't lived in for a year or more.

[CigsNWhiskey @KentJameson3]

@rednech_ai @fowontmiss @grok It's just outside of Arlington, Washington (Snohomish County, about an hour north of Seattle) in a secluded neighborhood bordered by woods on three sides. (My son and his family live a couple houses down from these houses.)

@BowTiedMarmott I was the new kid every year in elementary school. (In 6 years, 8 schools in three states and two countries.) In second grade I invited ten kids to my birthday party and no one showed. In third grade my mom decided to invite my entire class. All of them showed. It's a crap shoot.

@IfindRetards The British police seem anxious to take the title.

@engineers_feed At Boeing they call those "glassines" because they insist on pretending it's still 1935.

@viking_boer Grapevine for sure.

@WarrenBonathan @matthewdmarsden @grok Thank you for reminding me that there's a sport more boring than soccer... er, football.

@ClownWorld Calm down, Francis.

Sorry about that.

@RealMattCouch I'm as white as the driven snow. Taught my daughters that if they're stopped: Window down. Hands on the wheel at 10 and 2. Tell the officer what you're going to do before you do it. Be respectful. Have enough money to pay the ticket and the increased insurance rate.

@elonmusk Maybe the answer to data center constraints is to expand their capacity without expanding their footprints. I'd be very curious to read your thoughts on Atombeam Technologies. https://t.co/sYEn9PHGq7

@james_xond 14. Baskin Robbins. The lady who owned the place didn't hire anyone older than 16.

@thehoffather Watched the arrival of the Knicks in San Antonio this year and the Yankees in Seattle in 2001. At least a dozen police cars in each instance. Ridiculous waste of taxpayer money.

[CigsNWhiskey @KentJameson3]

@johnkonrad @RoKhanna What confounds me is that they think Elon's walking around with a $1T bill in his pocket. The moment he starts liquidating his assets, values plummet and everyone becomes poor... or maybe -- just maybe -- that's their intent....

I had to read this three times before I could believe it was real.

Rotherham. A small town in northern England.

For sixteen years, at least 1,400 children — some as young as eleven — were raped, gang-raped, and trafficked between cities by organized groups of men.

Eleven years old.
Petrol was poured on them so they would stay quiet.
Their families were threatened with death.
Photos were taken and used as blackmail.

The police knew.
The council knew.
The social workers knew.

For sixteen years, not one of them moved.

Why?
Because officers were afraid of being called racist if they acted on what they were seeing.
That was the whole reason.
While children were being sold, adults were protecting their own reputations.

That is the moment something in you breaks.

And here is the part that makes it worse.

The TV networks did not report it. The papers did not chase it.
When the journalist Andrew Norfolk finally broke the story, even he thought maybe 150 girls had been hurt.
The real number was 1,400.
He was staggered.

This should have been the biggest story of the decade. It was not.
The networks looked away. The advertisers preferred safer topics.
The cover-up did not end when the report was published — it continued in the silence of every newsroom that refused to chase it.

Then Elon Musk bought X.

The advertisers fled.
The press declared the platform finished.
X almost did not survive.

But it did.

And on X, the names of those towns started trending.
Rotherham.
Telford.
Rochdale.
Oldham.

Towns the country had been told to forget.

Britain understands itself differently today.
Not because the politicians confessed.
Not because the broadcasters apologized.
Because one platform refused to let it stay buried.

X almost did not survive.
1,400 children almost stayed forgotten.

That is worth saying out loud.
